Abstract

Molecules and materials that are pushed away from equilibrium can produce unique dynamic and adaptive properties that cannot be attained when they are at rest. In this issue of Chem, Cockroft and co-workers study the transient binding and debinding of coordination cages to the nanopocket of α-hemolysin and show that the binding and debinding events are driven out of equilibrium by an external electric field. Strong applied fields can invert the cage-nanopore binding selectivities and can enhance enantio-inversion to enrich one chiral form of the cage over the other.
